The idea is to pair a medium in which they are already fluent&mdash;creating video content&mdash;with learning to program. VidCode also allows teenagers to be social as they learn about code: to take videos of their life, edit code with friends, and share information with each other. In my research I found that girls&#039; interest in CS increases when they can pair programming with self expression. The experience begins by creating a video, uploading it to the site, then editing it by scrubbing values, mixing and matching filters such as &#8220;grain&#8221; or &#8220;blur&#8221;. In the future, advanced video programming tracks will be available in algorithmic art, motion, and storytelling.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Thesis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandra Diracles A learning tool designed to ignite girls interest in computer programming through video art. http:\/\/vidcode.herokuapp.com\/ Description VidCode aims to create a conversation and a community of coders among teenage girls.
